Authorities in Morris County are investigating the discovery of what appear to be human remains found in Parsippany.

Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi says the discovery was made at about noon by a landscaper working on Sylvan Drive, a little over a mile from the intersection of Interstates 80 and 287.

The woods are located behind a 139,000 square-foot office building being leased by Lincoln Parent Company.

Additional details were not immediately available.
